2014 | Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Brut | Champagne Bodega Viña Meín - Emilio Rojo the acidity does its partApricots, hazelnuts, lemons, white flowers, sliced almonds and hints of licorice on the nose. It's creamy and layered, with soft, rounded bubbles that spread across the palate. Lovely balance of breadth, ripeness and freshness, with delicious wildflower honey and nut notes lingering. 100% grand cru chardonnay from Avize, Mesnil sur Oger, Oger, Cramant and Chouilly. Drink or hold. James Suckling
